Once upon a time,
There lived a carpenter named Geppetto.
His woodcarvings were very much appreciated by everyone.
This carpenter, who was very skillful in his work,
loved to make puppets from wood.
His shop was filled with these puppets.
Sometimes he would sell these puppets and sometimes he would gift them to children.
His biggest wish was to have a child.
My dear god,
if only I had a child that could play with these toys I make.
He could also be a companion to me in the long winter nights.
One day, he went to the forest,
he was looking for the appropriate wood for the new puppet he was going to make.
This is just the wood I’m looking for.
Solid but soft enough to carve.
I can easily make the nose, mouth and arms out of this.
It’s going to be a wonderful puppet.
He placed the log he had found on his shoulders and headed back to his shop
and placed it on his counter.
Got to work…
Suddenly he heard a sound.
ouww…
Where’s this voice coming from?
He continued carving again.
Ouwww!
I think I’m dreaming.
This sound can’t be coming from the log.
I must be imagining things.
Thinking that the voice had come from outside,
Geppetto continued working.
With great patience and thoroughness,
he finished the puppet’s head, body, arms and legs.
He was admiring his work.
What a beautiful puppet it turned out to be!
But it needs clothes and shoes.
He dressed his puppet with the children’s overalls and shoes that he had in the shop.
It turned out to be such a lovely boy, he placed the puppet on his table.
Since I don’t have any children, I can be friends with this puppet.
I’ve even got a name for him….
Yes…
Pinocchio it is!
Your name shall be Pinocchio little puppet.
He started to clean his counter,
But just then heard a sound behind him.
Good evening.
He turned around but there was no one except the puppet.
He continued cleaning.
Hello Father Geppetto!
Suddenly Pinocchio jumped from the table to the floor.
He started wondering around the shop.
My God…!
Pinocchio the puppet has come to life!
Surprisingly, his eyes wide open, he was watching him.
Pinocchio wasn’t human but he was talking, walking, and playing.
Days and weeks passed…
Geppetto was so happy.
Pinocchio never left the carpenter’s shop.
He would help him with all his work and at night.
They would sit and chat by the fireplace.
Pinocchio, can you pass the saw?
Of course, Father.
Pinocchio where are the nails?
Right here....
This way, they lived happily for a couple of years.
It was time for Pinocchio to go to school.
But they had no money to buy a notebook, a pencil or a school bag for him.
Geppetto had a watch that belonged to his father,
He brought this watch to an antique shop, sold it and gave all the money to Pinocchio.
Pinocchio, this is your money, but I’m giving it to you to buy the things you need for school.
Go and buy yourself a notebook, a pencil, and a schoolbag...and head straight to school.
Pinocchio put all the money in his pocket and headed for school.
As he was looking at the shops on his way, people noticed him and were staring.
What a strange child, with a wooden puppet look’ they said.
After some time, a huge colorful tent appeared before him.
There was a crowd at the door giving money and going in.
With curiosity he came to the door.
There was a clown at the door making people laugh and taking the people who gave him money inside.
Sir, what is this tent?
What’s inside?
Can I go in?
This is a circus!
You can’t go in if you don’t have money.
He remembered the money in his pocket, which his father had given him to go to school.
I have money...here you go.
He went in.
Inside there was someone on stage that was making the puppets talk and dance.
These are puppets, just like me!
With the happiness of seeing someone just like him, Pinocchio jumped onto the stage.
The puppeteer that noticed him, screamed in shock.
Oh my God!
This puppet moves all by himself! I’m going to make so much money out of him.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Hey, little one, come here.
There’s an amazing animal show inside.
Do you want to watch?
Really? I sure would, where? In this room?
Pinocchio who believed the puppeteer went in to the room,
But as soon as Pinocchio went in, the puppeteer locked him in the room.
Poor Pinocchio was very, and was crying.
What a big mistake I’ve made.
I spent the school money.
I also disobeyed my father, so now I am in trouble.
What am I going to do now? Ihı ıhı ıhı….
😢 😭😢 😭😢 😭😢 😭
A good fairy that saw Pinocchio crying with regret,
entered through the open window and landed on the table in the room that Pinocchio was in.
With her magical wand, sparkling wings and blonde hair she was a beautiful fairy.
Hi Pinocchio!
Don’t worry, I’m going to save you,
but first you should tell me everything that’s happened.
But don’t forget, you must tell me truth.
Uhh...
My dad gave me money to come to the circus,
but out of nowhere a man locked me in here.
Pinocchio, whose nose suddenly started growing was in shock.
Ohhh...what’s going on?
I told you that you need to tell me the truth Pinocchio.
If you lie, your nose will grow even longer.
Pinocchio apologized and told the fairy the whole truth.
His nose immediately turned back to normal.
Pinocchio, you regret disobeying your father.
Now, I’m going to save you from here, and give you back your money.
But don’t make the same mistake again!
You’re such a good fairy.
Thank you very much...
I promise I won’t do it again.
It was my mistake to enter a circus that mistreats animals in the first place.
I’m so ashamed.
The good fairy unlocked the door with her magic wand
and took Pinocchio out of the circus.
